Pick up your Wii controllers in white or black

Nintendo has just announced a new color of Wii remotes, motionplus and nunchuks – black. It’s good not only for people who want to show a little individuality, but also for people whose white controllers are dirt magnets! I bet families with young gamers are going to love this.They aren’t in stores yet, but on November 16, 2009 they will be.

Here’s how you’ll be able to buy them. The remote and motionplus will be packaged together and cost $49.95. The nunchuk will be available on its own for $19.99. A white remote alone currently costs $39.99 and a motionplus costs $19.99, a total of $59.98, meaning the black remote and motionplus sold together are a nice deal. If a lot of games start requiring motionplus, then people will probably turn to the black remote and motionplus instead of the copy of Wii Play that comes with a remote.

Could a black Wii be far behind? Nintendo has already released a black Wii in Japan. It’s available either alone or with the Monster Hunter Tri bundle. And it’s kind of tacky to have different color accessories without a console to match. Perhaps we’ll see black Wiis in North America in time for the Winter holidays.
